Countdown on Becoming Mrs. Duncan

March 25: Immigration Lawyer Appointment
It went really well. Atty Visia is really nice. Discussed about expenses, forms, waiting time, etc. 

She gave us two options:
We can do the petition while I am here in the US or
I go home then mag-submit pa lang ng petition, mas mahabang proseso. 

Of course we wanted the easiest option. Kaya we asked her also if ok to get married first before my I-94 expires. She said yes, even if they stamped my passport with "Correa vs Thornburgh", kaya she checked on the website, wala daw note sa I-94 ko and since they allowed me to stay and they X'd it sa passport ko, I'm good. And if we get married naman daw, void na yun I-94 ko, coz married nako with an American Citizen.

We said we'll let her know if we decided na we needed a lawyer's assistance. 


March 26: Dress buying
We didn't have much time, so we just went to Macy's and JC Penny. Found a nice dress but besides sa too long for me, di namin maisara. Hahaha I'm fat. And when we're about to give up, and it was perfect. Mommy and I said tatahiin na lang namin yun front ng dress. No time to look for the shoes coz late na. So Jason picked us up and hatid sa apartment. 

Mom paid for my dress. 


March 27: Booking of Chapel and Moving in
After that one chapel we were talking about, we saw this one and they have a good package. And when we called, wow.... 4321 is available. So yan na ang date namin. And Jason's amazing, coz when the lady said they have 6:45 pm available, he said yes. And when he told me the reason, natuwa talaga ako. So it's 6:45 right, but he said he will tell people that we got married ng 6:54pm, so it will be 654321 :) galing. 

And so we are booked at The Little Church of the West (it is located at the Strip, halos tapat lang ng Mandalay Bay, and he showed me this on our first date nung papunta kame ng Strip.)
 

Package includes:
Bouquet of 7pcs fresh roses with boutonnier, online gallery (pictures and video), facebook livestream, etc. It is actually a good and nice package. Sa basic lang sana ako, pero gusto ni Jason may bouquet man lang ako. And at least may vows. (Nahihiya ako kase inabot 600 binayaran nya).


After that, punta na kame sa house "namin" it was moving in day for me. :) Shocks, titira na ako na boy ang kasama ko, and not my family. Nakaka-excite and nakakakaba at the same time.


March 28: Marriage License
It was fast. So fast actually. Walang pila, and mabait yun kausap namin. Jason paid for the license again. 




March 29: Jason's outfit
We met up with his parents at the mall to help us with his dress. Nakakatuwa, tumulong ang magulang nya for this. Well, kasama ko naman si mommy when I bought my dress, and malayo si ate and sila daddy. So we found a pants and shirt in Macy's, vest in Vercini, beside Macy's. And shoes in JC Penny.
We looked for my shoes too, but I dont have the size nung gusto kong shoes from Michael Kors.

And then nag Starbucks kame and we left his parents na. 

We're so excited.





March 30: Picking up my shoes
So sister bought me a shoes. She ordered in online and it's available in Macy's Fasion Show. Jason was quiet and parang in a rush na naman. Napikon ako. Di nya sinabi agad masama pala pakiramdam nya because of his ear. Kaya dumiretso din kame Walgreens before going home and had take out chinese food. 




March 31: Dinner with Parents
We set up a dinner for both our parents on Jason's favorite BBQ place. First time mag meet ng mga parents namin of course. 

Nagkasundo naman silang apat, nakakatuwa. Went really well.



April 2: Picking up Jason's ring

They called or messaged Jason saying his ring is available for pick up already. Ang saya diba, umabot pa for the wedding. 

Kaya we went to the Galleria before sunduin si mommy and hatid kame sa apartment. It's our last night as single people and we decided maghiwalay for the night. We just facetimed. His dad didnt go to the house to help with shave. 

We are so excited for the big day. Di ako makatulog and I sent him a very long text which he answered the next day and I was super kilig and na-teary eyed.

Daiso Beauty White and Collagen

Ok, hindi ko nakita ang sarili ko na gagamit (or iinom) ako ng ganito. Well, nung college, nag likas papaya ako, kase akala ko non maganda maging maputi. Hanggang na-adik ako sa dagat. Anyhow, hindi ako pumuti, kahit konti.  Two weeks ago habang kwentuhan over beer and chicharon bulaklak with Domz, he mentioned something about Glutathione and maybe collagen from Japan. In fairness, kumikinis nga naman na sya from since nakilala ko sya. And 3 years na kami close, his skin is smoother now. Then last Monday while kwentuhan naman over wine with Jeng, she mentioned about Collagen na in-order nya from US. She said hindi na sya gumagamit ng foundation since nag lockdown. I didnt notice that kase parang makinis na rin ang face nya. So parang na-convince ako ah. Ending ko, I asked Domz ano ginagamit nya. He said paubos na raw and since sa Japan pa nanggagaling, wala sya mapagkuhaan ngayon. But a friend of his is selling this Daiso Collagen and Beauty White. Di naman sila need i-take both. But m

Biometrics Appointment

Jason and I arrived at 8:43am, there was a line already. Pang 6 ako sa line. Stood there for maybe 10mins. While in line, the lady guard was checking all our appointment letters and ID's. I gave my drivers license.  And nung time na para pumasok, one by one sila magpapapasok: You need to put your stuff on the tray for x-ray (purse, watch, jewelry, and if you have anything on your pocket. I guess parang sa airport, naka dress ako and walang pockets kaya yun lang nilagay ko), then you can go inside na. There was a line again, screening I guess. The lady will call you pag turn mo na, they will check your appointment letter again and ID, this time I just handed my passport, for me mas madali lang kase yun ID sa pila sa labas). She then asked me to raise my two hands, checked front and back. And since I already put Duncan on my forms, she asked if I just got married, I said yes, then she asked if I have my marriage license with me, I said yes and handed it to her. She then wrote somethi

One year away from home

I am celebrating my first year here in the US today. This is the longest I am away from home, my dad, my friends, my brother, from my car haha not seeing Glorietta or Shopwise. Not being able to drink cucumber beer at Rue. Not wearing a face shield. Not experiencing the Manila traffic and the pollution. The noise of the rooster and dogs, the noise of the kids outside, or the neighbors shouting, cursing at each other. Even the all day all night karaoke of our neighbors. I miss my bed, I miss my fridge, I miss driving. I miss the mall. I miss the smell of pinoy foods. When I flew here, I thought I will only be gone for 4-1/2 months. I thought I will be meeting Bryan and Brandon. Thought I'll be back in time for summer and hoping makapag beach na ulet. I was hoping pa for Brandon to be my boyfriend you know. LOL But God has a different plan for me. A better plan. Better plan to what I planned for myself. And I love it. I am thankful for his BETTER plan for me. It truly is worth the wa
